There is the link for those of you who are interested and don't know what it is. It seems like a straight forward program, and I will take measurements and pictures tomorrow morning before hitting the gym for a before and after.

Hopefully this program works for me. This log will be replacing my old one. Time to SFW :biglifter:

You'll like it, good choice of program. I almost chose this one but have done it before and I was looking at something different.

When is your official start date?

I did a podcast with Team Scivation and they talk a bit about Tr-Phase training.

Today is the official start date. I just got back a little while ago.

Day 1 - Chest and Shoulders3 sets of 6 - 10 reps
90 seconds rest

Bench Press
135 X 10
155 X 8
175 X 6

Incline Dumbbell Bench
50 X 8
53 X 7
53 X 6

Dips
BW X 6
BW X 8
BW X 8

Dumbbell Shoulder Press
50 X 7
50 X 7
50 X 7

Dumbbell Lateral Raises
22 X 8
22 X 8
25 X 6

Notes
This felt like extremely low volume for me. The workout lasted 42 minutes and that is with a partner. Even though the volume was low, the intensity was extremely high. Hence the name Phase 1: High Intensity. With there being only 90 seconds between sets, and working out with a partner, the PRs may be few and far between, but I know for sure that this is legit. I am already feeling it.

P.S.
I am usually eating my pre-workout meal (breakfast) about 2 hours before I workout. But when I am working out, my stomach is hurting like I am about to yak. Should I eat longer for my workout? Or eat less before I workout? Suggestions???

Are you feeling full during your workout?

If not I would suggest adding a whey shake about 60 minutes prior to working out to see if it helps. I sometimes get that way too during a workout, and though this isn't conventional, I sip on highly diluted whey during a workout.
